Wiring LEDs using I/O module at driver station

[mbone206]

I need to look into using the I/O module for wiring LED feed back at driver station. My team is presently looking for the module (last years kit?), hopefully there will be paperwork with it. In the meantime, I would like to look into how to do this. I Found ‘how to configure I/O module’ but no data sheet. Does anyone have the data sheet? Do you know if we have to use resistors to pull up/down current for LEDs? How much current sources/sinks the
digital I/O?

thanx
Mark

Cypress I/O Pinout Tables (http://usfirst.org/uploadedFiles/Community/FRC/Game_and_Season__Info/2010_Assets/Cypress%20IO%20Pinout%20tables.pdf) (it's on the KOP Website)

− Active drive output


4mA current source
8mA current sink

I counted 73 links on the KOP website, I'm not too surprised it got lost in the crowd. :)
